Finhead, you're breaking my heart. None of the coaches after Shula understood the importance of having a great quarterback to lead the Dolphins. They all thought they could get by on average or has-beens. Shula coached Johnny Unitas, Earl Morrall, Bob Griese, and Dan Marino ... 3 hall of famers.

Those were the days. From 1983 to 1999 Miami was in the playoffs 10 years. They had only one season with a sub .500 record. And as a fan I felt they were a playoff contender almost every year and had a legit shot of going to the super bowl. And that was when Buffalo went to the super bowl in 1990, 1991, 1992 & 1993 and lost all 4.
